Two weeks after his second place in Innsbruck, the 29-year-old Erlangen finished third at the Lead World Cup in Villars, Switzerland. Victory went to the Austrian Jakob Schubert.
Lead refers to classic lead climbing on a rope. The athletes try to climb a defined route in a given time without falling or to get higher than the competition. Megos already won silver in this discipline at the World Championships in Japan in 2019.
